Title: Been on Holiday, whats fresh?
Post by Darryl Flynn on 05. Aug 2006 at 22:23

As the title says i have been in Southern France for 3 weeks in the Citroen C4 diesel ( 61.9mpg average ) and just wondered how things were settling down as this site had just been up and running for a few days prior to my departure.

First impressions then were massively encouraging !

Kind regards Darryl

Welcome back - hope you had a nice time. If only Omega's returned that sort of MPG ;D

Site is doing extremely well with really committed people running it.

I contribute where I can so feel kind of qualified to answer your question! :)

All is well here... working hard to crank-up the posting count to the previous level ;D

The Quartet (Laidback, TheBoy, Ronnie, and Mark DTM – all easily recognised by their five-start status ;D) are doing a brilliant job running this site.

Good to see you back. What, no laptop on your holiday? :o

Running my own small business means that I can physically go away whenever I like, but I can never really get away… :(

Hence the laptop, the Internet, the mobile phone....

Yes I understand, when I started my business, before the laptop and mobile phone I used to have to phone in two or three times everyday. Cost me a small fortune in phone calls. :(

I managed an average of 15mpg on gas - lots of small lane work and towing to and from there
